Out and about in the Swindale Valley in the Far Eastern Fells . Water levels low at the moment but dogs still find sufficient to swim in #lakedistrict #Cumbria #rivers #UK #labradors

Buttermere in the Lake District, early morning reflections from along the lakeside during the recent warm spell we've been having #cumbria #uk #mountains #hills #landscapephotography #summer #lakes

A warm early morning wander around Buttermere. Slightly hazy but lovely reflections on the lake of the Buttermere hills

Wanders up the Langstrath in Borrowdale, #LakeDistrict. Cooler weather making for easier less sweaty walks #cumbria #landscapephotography #summer #mountains #hills

Michael G 🇱🇹 🇺🇦 🐕 🐾 🙏🕉@beardedwalker· Jul 16

Early morning start for a day out down the Swindale Valley in the Far Eastern Fells area of the #LakeDistrict. Today's objective was to swim in the waterfalls and pools and stay at lower levels. The dogs managed to keep cool as did I. #cumbria #uk #mountains #outdoorswimming #waterfalls

3 mile walk in to go to our favourite pool and waterfalls. Lovely warm water

Sometime you just have to get in, especially when it's about 28-30 degrees

Difficult to get them out of the water today but they stayed cool

This warm weather means my life mainly consists of either going to the sea or to the river with the dogs to keep them cool. Tough choices. We are having a break from hillwalking (too hot).This one was taken at #Brotherswater in the #LakeDistrict recently #Cumbria #uk #labradors #summer

Tough getting up early this morning after watching late night football 😴 but a lovely very quiet beach at #Bamburgh with weird blurry cloud formations over the sea. Crepuscular rays in abundance all very ethereal. Three pics taken on the mobile #landscapephotography #seascape #uk #Northumberland

Peaceful views over the North Sea looking towards Inner Farne. Crepuscular rays filter through the clouds

View of the Farne Islands on the Northumberland coast. The tide has done out revealing lovely plant covered rocks

A small metal wreck is peaking out of the sea on the right hand side. Moss covered rocks in the foreground with the sky reflected in the pools of water left by the receding tide

Early morning walk on the beach at Bamburgh, Northumberland with these two. A sea harr this morning so thick mist and very moist dunes. Lots of harebells out. Dog pic is post swim/walk,fed and watered, hopefully tired for a few hours ! #Northumberland #UK #sea #harebells #labradors

A few more snaps from our beach/swimming day near Beadnell in #Northumberland. The North sea has warmed up sufficiently to go in without a wet suit. #landscapephotography #UK #seascape #labradors

Post swim mindfulness and just being in the moment

Michael G 🇱🇹 🇺🇦 🐕 🐾 🙏🕉@beardedwalker· Jul 10

This mornings walk is from the beach north of Beadnell in Northumberland. Everyone has the same idea, early dog walks because of the heat and swim of course. #Northumberland #seascape #landscapephotography #summer #coast

Early start today tom avoid the heat up Pasture Bottom to go up Caudale Moor. However, too hot after climbing Threshtwaite cove and still another 700ft up. Stoney Cove pike so turned around and hit the river and Brotherswater for swimming. #lakedistrict #cumbria #mountains #summer #uk

Views up Pasture Bottom to Threshtwaite cove and Crag

Yeh, she came in too, I took the pics form in the water, I have a waterproof bag from Temu (but it creates hazy shots). The guy on the pic was throwing sticks for his dog. Willow is the stronger swimmer but she refuses to fetch sticks because Freya is too competitive and steals them

Freya, pleased with her stick fetching skills

Sometimes you just have to join them in the water. A lovely swimming session at #Brotherswater in the #lakedistrict #uk #cumbria #lake #swimming #labradors

Freya enjoying a cool down, too hot today for climbing mountains

Willow watching Freya and I in the water at Brotherswater, she did eventually join us

A few more from our recent trip to #Buttermere in the #LakeDistrict A very photogenic lake with lots of fabulous hillwalking. If you've never visited here it's well worth a visit. #landscapephotography #Cumbria #UK #lakes #mountains #hills #summer

Buttermere Lake Reflections looking towards the east of Buttermere Fell, Dale Herad and Fleetwith Pike. A bright day but a calm lake.

Post swim and lunch nap by Willow. It's amazing how dogs have a 10 minute nap and then they're ready to go again, cue swimming and running around.

Looking towards Haystacks down down Buttermere Lake

Wet morning in Cumbria, so Freya awaiting a walk decides it's sock time (her favourite one she takes to bed each night) and to wake her up when the rains gone off.... #labradors #dogs #uk #cumbria #coffeetime

Late evening dog walk in the sand dunes, south of #Bamburgh castle, wet happy dogs and being bathed in the last of the days golden glow 🙏 #UK #seascape #landscapephotography #sunset #Northumberland #castle #summer

Looking towards Bamburgh Casyle, Northumberland. Late evening dog swim and a slow wander through the dunes. Golden sunshine bathes the grass. Blue skies and clouds beginning to be lit up by the descending sun.

Fallen tree at Ullswater in the Lake District. What is the British obsession of sticking coins in the bark of old fallen trees ? There's some at Derwentwater and Aira force too. #landscapephotography #lakedistrict #UK #mountains

Fallen tree on the shore of Ullswater. Coins have been hammered into the bark !

Three more from yesterday's visit to #Buttermere in the #LakeDistrict. It's too hot for the dogs today so we are hiding till this evening. Have a great day everyone 😎 #landscapephotography #cumbria #uk #summer #mountains

Lake reflections sat under some trees on the lakeside with views of Fleetwith Pike

Lunch stop, hiding from the hot sun and an opportunity for dog swims

One of many yesterday, so clear and loads of fish and dogs having fun
